Jay and B.I.G. recorded three songs together (Biggie Duets and “A Dream” don’t count).  On “Brooklyn’s Finest” B.I.G. shined bright.  On “I Love the Dough” B.I.G. was masterful again with Jay keeping pace.  On “Young G’s,” Jay’s verse that included lines such as:  “Some say I been here before because of the way I zone/Some said, Jigga zone is like the fallin of Rome/Reoccuring, that he thinks like that cause he’s observing/Won’t be known until I’m gone and niggaz study my bones” was a notch above B.I.G.’s drugs and guns verse.

B.I.G. still leads 2 to 1 tho…  Who you got?

    “Young G’s” is a dope song. Puff gets no votes because Sauce Money wrote that verse.

  • iLLie

    to be honest jigga’s verse is hot on young gz but that is one of my fav. big verses ever, but then again i’m not that big of a big fan.

  • JLH

    Love this song

  • mrflick

    Big is my favorite but Jay got him on that verse. I think most true hip hop fans can’t admit that though.

  • Wez

    Normally I would go with B.I.G.’s flow…but not on this one. Jay’s focused lyrics that had you thinking “he on some ish” was above the drugs/guns verse of B.I.G.. B.I.G.’s flow just killed everybody…but lyrics take over on this one for me.

    I always thought B.I.G. had the best verse because of the flow, but as I was doing this I realized Jay killed it.
